First Blu-ray Drives Won't play Blu-ray Movies

aapold writes "Sony officially announced its BWU-100A product at its "Experience More 2006" event in Sydney yesterday, all the while acknowledging that there's significant room for improvement before the product is viable for integration into media centre PCs. Sony's product manager for data storage, told CNET.com.au that due to copy protection issues and lagging software development, the drive will only play user-recorded high-definition content from a digital camcorder, and not commercial movies released under the BD format." All this hullabaloo makes me want neither side to win. If only I didn't desperately crave HD content on my TV!

It was love! LOVE was the "fifth element"!

All along, the answer was right under their noses: "love." Too bad no encoding methods, disc formats, screen resolutions or anything else could fix the incredible cheesiness of that movie. I suppose you could edit out the God-awful theme song, that would be a step in the right direction.

Nice quote - but not quite
